    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Just a quick update on the Domestic cooler. I did you weekend camping trip with my single vehicle battery. When I parked the car at 6p for the day, the voltage measured at 12.5V. The next morning, I started the car at 9a, some 15 hours later. I only ran the cooler on the battery and nothing...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Great suggestions. In reality, I'll probably install a dual battery setup, but still doing my investigating. For now, I'm just trying to get past this weekend. Lol. All in due time...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I have an Interstate battery that I bought from Costco. Probably not AGM. I always carry a NOCO battery jumper with me, so I'd just like to see the tolerance of where my battery is at. I'll run the simulation overnight and set the temp to 34°F - I'll make sure to turn off the ice maker feature.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Just picked up a used Dometic CFX3 fridge. Got it hooked up in the Jeep- trying to figure out if I can run this thing on a single battery.

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    It's been a fun build so far. I think I'm just about done now. Maybe a couple of more skids and a new tie rod, and that should do it. I bought my Jeep, King, back in 2017 and immediately went to work building him up. Some of my more memorable runs have been the Rubicon Trail and Fordyce Creek...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I finally finished cleaning my Jeep. It took a beating on Fordyce at the Sierra Trek and got tons of new pin-striping on the sides. Plus the entire interior was completely dusty. I do a once a year deep cleaning, getting him ready for ski season. The deep cleaning, washing, waxing, conditioning...

    US West Death Valley Western Tour October 22-25th 2020

    I don't know what your current setup is i.e. if you have a roof rack or you already have some sort of rear lights, but since I didn't have any amber lights, I took the opportunity for a more versatile more permanent solution. I bought these Nilight LED 3" cubes off of Amazon for $40. I also...

    US West Death Valley Western Tour October 22-25th 2020

    I just made a reservation for $2. I'm planning on buying an annual pass at the window when we get there. Heading to Utah's Mighy 5 next May, so I'll get good use of it.

    US West Eastern Sierras to Funnel Lake and Laurel Lakes August 21-23rd, 2020

    I've been looking into the Yosemite entrance fee situation. Driving through the park, each vehicle needs a reservation to enter the park, even if we're not recreating there. 80% of the reservations for the following month are divvied up on the first of each month (way too late for that), while...

    I installed a ProClips mount on my Jeep Wranger. Took it through the Rubicon Trail with my cell phone in it. Solid like a rock.

    I saw that the trip is at full capacity, but if there's a cancellation, I would love to go. Is there a waiting list?
